Transcend Offers 32 GB ExpressCard SSD

If you’ve been considering the benefits of a flash-based solid-state disk (SSD) drive—no moving parts, low power requirements, fast startup and wake times—but haven’t been sure about installing one as a drop-in replacement for an existing hard drive, then Transcend Information may have the solution for you in the form of is 32 GB ExpressCard/34 SSD.

The drive can be connected directly to ExpressCard-equipped notebook computers, and offers full support for Windows Vista and ReadyBoost (the drive can also be used with Mac OS X 10.4 or newer, or LInux Kernel 2.4 or later). Plus, the drive comes with a USB 2.0 adapter, so users can plug it into a desktop system or other computer as a USB storage device. The drive weighs just 19 grams and can operate at temperatures all the way from freezing (32°F) to way-too-hot (158°F).

The 32 GB ExpressCard/34 SSD is priced at $509 before taxes; Transcend also offers 8 Gb and 16 GB versions for $153 and $281, respectively.

This mini PC, and I do mean mini, has a Ryzen 7000 tucked inside for $200 off

Geekom A7 Mini PC with AMD Ryzen 7 for gaming showcased.

Computing, or small computing, has come a long way in recent years. Thanks to renewed interest in more manageable desktop sizes, even for PC gaming, we've seen a boon in the small PC world, namely with small form factor PCs (SFFPCs). For good reason, people are more interested in systems that take up less space, are more efficient, especially with energy usage, and can be placed in new areas, like their living rooms. There is now a whole category of small and mini PCs, and although they are bite-sized, they still pack a punch. Take Geekom's A7 Mini PC, which has an AMD Ryzen 7000 series tucked inside. That's no slouch on its own, but it also has 64GB of DDR5 RAM, WiFi 6E, and AMD Radeon graphics that supports up to four displays. All of that is packed inside an ultra-slim, space-saving case about the size of a book. Incredible. The top-tier model is currently $200 off, down to $649 instead of $849, when you use code digitaltrendsa7 at checkout. That code is valid in the US and the UK.

No, you shouldn’t just buy whatever Brother printer is cheapest

The Brother MFC-J1205W's off-white color looks nice in a home office.

Printers aren't the most exciting tech products in the world. I get it. Most of us don't use them all that often and just need the cheapest one that'll get the job done.

That’s the point a recent tongue-in-cheek article from The Verge made, declaring in a buying guide that “the best printer is still whatever random Brother laser printer that’s on sale.” The subtext: Printers have stagnated, and anyone trying to convince you otherwise is fishing for clicks on Google. But if you’ve ever purchased a car that wasn’t a Toyota Corolla, maybe you’d agree that “the best for most people” isn’t always the best for you.
